He Was Still There

Plans were made for him to be there
Part of the ceremony he would be,
His sister counted on his presence
For him to be there for her to see.

But long before the day arrived
His maker called him home,
To fill his place was quite a task
It forced her mind to roam.

The day was finally here at last
When she walked down the aisle,
Those attending could not see him there
He came in his own style.

As her mother watched from the pew
A movement caught her eye,
Beside his mother he sat down
And she need not ask him why.

He was there for his sisters big day
And most would never know,
His spirit came to celebrate
Tho to most it did not show.

His love was felt by sis and mom
His spirit a comforting force,
And as the day came to an end
He was there to stay the course.
